Karramarro Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s cookin’ for Karramarro. This is a point break, mainly for advanced surfers, and it’s notoriously inconsistent—so when it turns on, you gotta be ready. The water’s sitting at 75°, which is way warmer than usual for this time of year, so you can leave the thick rubber at home.

The standout session is Saturday morning, August 29. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell rolling in from the WNW, with a period of 9 seconds, and it’s dead glassy—SW wind at just 3 mph. The energy’s sitting at moderate (497), and with the offshore wind, the point should be firing with clean, lined-up waves. This is your best shot of the whole forecast.

Sunday morning, August 30 is also worth a paddle. Swell drops to 5ft, still from the NW, period 10 seconds, and again glassy calm with zero wind. Energy’s moderate (384), and the waves will be clean, just a little smaller than Saturday.

Monday morning, August 31 brings another glassy session—5ft NW swell, 9-second period, and a light NNW breeze at 3 mph. Energy’s moderate (466), and the point should be holding some nice shape.

After that, the surf gets smaller and less consistent through the rest of the week, with a few early mornings offering glassy conditions but underwhelming swell. Tuesday morning, September 1 is glassy with 5ft NW swell (10-second period, energy 341), but it’s a step down. From Wednesday onward, the swell dips below 3ft and the quality drops off.

The next real window of opportunity comes around Saturday afternoon, September 5. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the NW with a long 13-second period, and energy jumps to strong (781). However, the wind is onshore, and the tide may be tricky—so it’s marginal. Worth keeping an eye on, but not a guaranteed clean session.

Sunday morning, September 6 is glassy again with 4ft NW swell, 11-second period, and energy at 345. A solid, clean option if you’re still keen.

Monday, September 7 has a glassy morning (4ft, 9-second period, energy 269) and a glassy afternoon (3ft, 12-second period, energy 286). Both are workable but nothing special.

Tuesday morning, September 8 is glassy but only 3ft, and the quality is just “ordinary.” After that, the swell fades further, with a few glassy mornings but tiny waves, and by the end of the second week, we’re down to 1ft. The inconsistent nature of this break means there’s a long dry spell from around September 10 onward.

In short: Saturday morning, August 29 is the one to target. Glassy, chest-to-head-high waves, and the point should be clean. Sunday morning and Monday morning are also good backup options. The rest of the 16 days is mostly flat or poor, so don’t sleep on the first few days.

Rusty, signing off.
